Bravo to all who made OM38 another special event.

Special shout out for Lisa who debuted as MC with great aplomb.

Thanks ro Richard for pre-show and Phil for smooth spotlighting.

A wonderful range of performances, mix of acoustic and electric, instrumental, duos, and even a ukelele.

I echo your comments DP. Was good to be back, both during the show and the after gig chat. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I appreciate the chance to play again. I’m waiting to start working at the soccer game here. I feel a blues song coming out about the whoas in working with drunk soccer fans

Yes, great job Lisa - you handled everything perfectly - and thanks to Phil and Richard - and to you David for your support from the sidelines.

Well done everyone involved - a very enjoyable evening! There was a great mix of music that i love - Tommy Emmanuel, Audioslave, Green Day and more.

Me too,
I want to thank everyone involved in the organisation!
I’m really glad I could take part and be here with you all!

@Lisa_S You did great as a host, and you seemed really at ease in this position!
@philsmith you switched everything really smoothly!

And thank you everyone for the nice comments on my song! :slight_smile:

I definitely enjoyed all the performances, except I missed most of the first and am looking forward to see/hear it in the recording (& I am 100% certain it was another wonderful performance, because it was @Alexeyd ) because I had to fix a few things right before playing myself.

I’m looking foward for the recording, even if I’ll probably “surf” among the performances :grimacing:
I’m sure Lisa @Lisa_S did an awesome job :raising_hands::star_struck:
Happy to read you guys had fun and enjoyed it…it’s such a great opportunity for all of us! Such a pity I can’t take part because of other life priorities.

Thank you to all the performers, behind the scenes helpers, our new host @Lisa_S and the audience!

This was another enjoyable OM, with a wide variety of genres, eras, techniques, instrumentals, vocals, harmonies… it was a privilege to share the stage with everyone! The after show chat was loads of fun, and I got some sage advice from @DavidP and @TheMadman_tobyjenner

Now it’s time to figure out what I can learn for the next one!

As an old UK TV ad used to say “it’s good to talk” :rofl: After show chats are a real benefit of using Zoom as an OM platform. An opportunity to get to know folk a little better, beyond post or message exchanges in the platform. Enjoyed our post show banter and was great to finally have some face to face time - even if we had to endure @DavidP as well - just pulling your chain DP - was really good to catch up. I’d miss the whole OM for a bit of after show banter.

Well done to @Lisa_S for hosting. You’re a good MC, made the event flow really well.

Same as @philsmith for spotlighting. Slick.

And of course to @Richard_close2u and @DavidP for their work!

So sorry I didn’t make it in the end - weekends are usually just for family and as it happened, I was hanging with my daughter and helping her prep for a judo comp on Sunday. Sorry!

I’ll try to make time for the recording later and dip in!

No worries, Justin. Would have been great to have you join, sing us a song you’re the guitar man, but family first! Hope the comp went well for your daughter.

It’s up now link in the first post.
